Answer: Option C) Birds feed off the insects that are stirred up from the grasses as cattle move through.

Step-by-step explanation:

A predator is a living organism (usually of bigger in size) that feeds on whole of another organism (prey).

When cattle move through grasses, their hooves displaces insects which are sighted and fed on by flying birds.

Thus, the birds are predators while the insects are prey
